Homework Load Survey

Hours, stress, and clash nights – the workload students carry home, measured.

5 questions · 1 page · about 1 minute to answer · fully editable after you start

Homework policy debates run on anecdotes until someone measures the load. This survey – for students, with a parallel parent version by wording tweak – measures nightly hours by subject band, deadline clustering (the three-assignments-due-Friday problem), stress impact, and whether homework feels like learning or compliance.

The clustering answers are the immediate fix: a shared deadline calendar across teachers flattens the spikes without reducing a single assignment.
